Goal Progress Measure 2.1 - 11/10/2026

At the November 10, 2026 APSBOE meeting, staff presented a progress update on Goal Progress Measure 2.1, tracking whether students in grades 9–11 are on pace to graduate based on credits earned. The presentation reported that 50% of students were on track at the end of 2025–26, compared with 40% in 2023–24, while cohort data showed declining on-track rates as students moved into later grades. The district’s broader goal is an 85% graduation rate by May 2031. Staff described initiatives including ninth-grade transition and success teams, counseling and individual academic planning, credit and unit recovery, multilingual learner supports, and work to redesign high school. The board also discussed students with IEPs, chronic absenteeism, family outreach, and how to assess the rigor and effectiveness of recovery programs; staff said they could provide a high-level snapshot of off-track students and interventions and follow up on root-cause analysis.

No contracts, vendor selections, bid approvals, purchasing decisions, or procurement-related votes were identified. The discussion referenced the EASI grant as a current funding source for the Center for High School Success and raised how the program might be sustained if that grant ends, but no funding allocation or procurement action was made.
